Those wires you see in a figure 8 pattern are flex wires, because they have to be on his knee PERMANENTLY, or his knee cap can break apart on again, because Kneecap breaks actually sometimes never fully heal.

That's what causing his knee soreness, as it can irritate the surrounding bodies in the knee joint. He will have to do clean up surgery when the season is over to remove lose bodies and damage from that constant irritation

He was limping during the Golden State series last year because of that knee too, if you remember.

Danny Ainge said #Celtics Kyrie Irving will have to manage his knee injury for rest of his career. Not year, CAREER. I wondered: Is surgery in his future? I asked Cedric Maxwell on #CelticsBeat and found his answer...interesting.

When Boston was winning early in the season I knew Kyrie's knee ain't gonna hold up as the main cog on the team for a whole year. He did miss some time this season to get ready for playoffs. Let's see how he responds.

What's Kyrie doing this year as the "main cog", that's any harder on his knee than what he was doing before?

Stevens had him running around playing great defence early in the year. He also has way more responsibility with the ball now, can't just stand around and be a spot up shooter like he was for some of his floor time in Cleveland.
